BARROW

"BARROW, a parish in the hundred of Thingoe, in the county of Suffolk, 7
miles to the W. of Bury St. Edmund's, its post town, and 8 E. from
Newmarket. The village is about half a mile in length, terminating in a
spacious green, around which are some good shops and private residences.
The Bury and Newmarket railway passes along the northern boundary of the
parish. The living is a rectory* in the diocese of Ely, of the value of
£690, in the patronage of the Master and Fellows of St. John's College,
Cambridge. The church was built about the reign of Henry III., and was
restored in 1852. It contains several old monuments, an altar tomb, faced
with brass, of Sir Clement Heigham, and two brasses. It is dedicated to All
Saints, and has in the chancel a handsome painted window. The register
commences from the year 1542. There is an Independent chapel, built in
1836, and a free school, for the education of 24 children. The charitable
endowments, including £20, the revenue of a school, amount to £80. A
pleasure fair is held on the 1st May."
